(first update)

Open the window and look at the beautiful Huiquan... Well, no, it should be called August Victoria Bay now. Between the blue sea and blue sky of the bay, you can clearly see cargo ships from various countries spewing coal smoke. The most beautiful and moving thing is the steel schooner with white sails.

"In a few years, Lianyungang will be so prosperous."

Looking at August Victoria Bay, Li Zicheng said to himself in his heart.

To a certain extent, the development of Lianyungang is similar to that of Qingdao. Both "one port and one road" are centered on ports. Germany uses one port and successfully completed the transfer of Shandong's trade center from Yantai to Qingdao. The Governor's Office of Jiaoao has basically completed the first round of urban planning and construction. Ports, railways, tap water, power plants, hospitals, churches, factories... A modern city with complete facilities rose from the ground. One port, one road to one city, one ocean. The Germans created a concrete and tiny Berlin city here completely according to the Western model.

Lianyungang in the future is so similar to Qingdao, one port, one road, one city, and one ocean. However, unlike Qingdao, the area of ​​the area will make Lianyungang the leader of the entire Longhai Railway, and eventually build an industrial belt with railways as the backbone. From Jiangsu to the hinterland of northwest China, a true modern industry will appear for the first time, and what causes all this will be the Liuhe founded by himself and himself.

"That university is the end"

As he was talking to himself, another thought emerged in Li Zicheng's mind. In the past seven days, he had been staying in Qingdao waiting for news about Kebel, while "studying and visiting" in Qingdao. Yesterday, he visited a middle school founded by a German, and that middle school gave him great inspiration.

Unlike the middle school they are familiar with, the students there also learn culture, and even the physical education class is military sports. They also hold pens and carry guns. But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that they take craft classes. In craft classes, some students learn how to operate machinery and related metal knowledge in class, and learn to read drawings. They even have several classes every week in the mechanical repair shop in Qingdao to actually operate machinery, which is completely introducing German-style middle school education.

"Maybe many of them, because of their superior family background, would never be able to enter factories and become workers. However, through three years of study and practice, when they graduate from high school, they can see from the materials that they have a very comprehensive range of toughness, fatigue, what they can do, how to withstand temperature, how to fit the machines, and what level they can reach. In this way, if they engage in mechanical design or related industries in the future, they have advantages that others cannot compare with. When students come out of such middle schools and how to enter factories, their overall quality is very high."

In that middle school, Principal Ruks explained to himself so confidently, but in fact he adopted German-style middle school education, which attached more importance to practice. It is conceivable that many students who rely on this educational method actually have everything a qualified technical worker should have when they graduate from middle school. However, in Germany, such students still need to receive vocational education and only after three years of school + enterprise apprenticeship training can they truly become workers.

"No wonder Manufacture in Germany is famous all over the world"

Thinking about the students who seriously learn metal knowledge and drawing knowledge in class, I even had an illusion that they were learning mechanical engineering, but in fact, the Germans trained technical workers by cultivating mechanical engineers.

Finally, it is these high-quality technical workers who have further achieved the reputation of manufacturing in Germany. The best design will be ruined by manufacturing that holds its feet, and excellent manufacturing can make up for the shortcomings in the design.

"Maybe, the middle schools in Lianyungang should do the same in the future."

Yes, since you can introduce German-style university education, why can't you introduce the primary and secondary education system? Now all of China's education is in the exploratory stage.

"It's too slow to train a middle school student in five years, a junior high school in four years, a junior high school in five years."

Thinking about the school system of this era that he had seen, Li Zicheng couldn't help but shake his head. It would be a waste of time to train a middle school student in fourteen years and a college student in seventeen years. Now the capital is still discussing the new school system. Instead of arguing, it is better to hire German education experts now, plan and even directly "clone" a German-style education system in Lianyungang.

Zhang Wenzheng, who walked into the room, looked at the chairman standing by the window and handed over an envelope.

"Chairman, Mr. Kebel sent someone to send a letter"

A card made of card paper was drawn from the envelope and unfolded the half-folded card. A smile suddenly appeared on Li Zicheng's face.

"It was Meyer Valdek's invitation to invite me to the Governor's House"

Li Zicheng smiled, it seems that this matter is about to be accomplished

In the afternoon, Li Zicheng, who was secretly fond of his heart, took the German four-wheeled carriage sent by the Governor's Office to the Governor's Office on the half slope on the eastern foot of Mount Ditrich.

When the carriage entered the beautiful, gorgeous, extraordinary and romantic villa-style residence, Li Zicheng saw Kebel wearing a dress standing there with joy, and next to him was a senior officer wearing a German military dress. He thought he was Governor Meyer Valdeck.

"Hello, Mr. Kebel, Governor."

As soon as he got off the carriage, Li Zicheng first saluted Maiye Valdek and Kebel slightly, and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Mr. Li Zicheng"

While greeting Meyer Valdek also stretched out his right hand. When both sides shook hands, Meyer Valdek suddenly realized that although the person in front of him was younger than he thought, he did not show any restraint at all.

"Mr. Li, I really admire your achievements in technological innovation, of course, even more so, your decisiveness in business."

In the living room of the official residence, Maiye Valdek, who had a cigar between his fingers, said admiration, but his expression did not change at all.

"Of course, I appreciate your vision, which is more than the vision of most Chinese people."

When Maier Valdeck said this, he looked at Li Zicheng. Six days ago, after he reported the matter of the "co-organized branch" to the Secretary of State Tilpitz in telegram, less than three days later, Tilpitz was very excited to reply to himself. His reply was very simple.

"Promise him and tell him we are willing to do this."

In another telegram from Telpitz, he explained in detail why he had to agree to this Chinese. This was Germany's opportunity to gain "education leading" in China. Moreover, it was a new pioneering place. No British and American forces have entered, and German cultural exports can be completely let go. There is no need to pay attention to the boycotts of other great powers like in Shanghai. At the same time, he can use the Longhai Railway to import German culture into the hinterland of China. Even Telpitz said that he would personally come forward to help Qingdao vocational schools hire a group of more professors.

"Mr. Governor, German universities maintain their advantages around the world. There is one simplest example, that is, German is the common language in the international scientific community now. Even in British academic journals and papers, their topics are all German. Whether in the field of natural sciences or social sciences, there are many world-renowned scholars in Germany and their lineup is very strong. I think if I run a university, I am afraid there is no better choice than Germany."

Li Zicheng whispered a compliment, but this compliment was the truth. In the past half century, German universities have achieved much more than the combined achievements of Britain and the United States. Even American universities are studying behind German universities. In fact, the graduate school system that the United States is proud of has been transplanted from Germany.

“Just as our starting point for establishing Qingdao Higher Education College was to promote the progress of China’s engineering science, we in Germany,”

Maier Valdek, who felt very helpful to Li Zicheng's compliment, said this proudly and emphasized "Germany".

"Having the most modern education system in the world, promoting scientific civilization in China,..."

After a long discussion, Maier Valdek said with great certainty.

"So, our government decided to agree to the establishment of a branch in Lianyungang for Qingdao Higher Education College. At the same time, we will help you hire the best professors and scholars in Germany to teach at the branch."

"In this way, Governor General, thank you very much for your generous help. Just as I promised, Lianyungang Branch will receive more than 20 times the school funding and annual funding of Qingdao's school. Moreover, in the next few years, its scale will only grow bigger and bigger. At the same time, in return, I will provide Qingdao's school with no less than 100,000 marks of funding every year..."

When he spoke up, Li Zicheng was secretly happy in his heart. For two years, he only spent two years of temporary compromise in exchange for German education experts and scholars to help him build the most modern university in Asia.

Perhaps in the past two years, just like Qingdao Dehua University, China has appointed a Chinese president and a German president to jointly manage the school. To be precise, the Germans serve as the principal and the Chinese serve as the chief auditor, but this is just a compromise of two years. Two years later, well, this university that the Germans helped them establish is completely owned by themselves.

Time, time will change a lot of things. When Li Zicheng thought so in his heart, he looked at Kebel, and smiled again.

"Principal Kebel, now we can start recruiting preparatory students, what do you think?"

(Tomorrow's third update, if you have monthly tickets, you might as well vote for the guaranteed monthly ticket for the new era, and encourage you to be speechless.)...
